Abstract

This study employed a one-group pretest-posttest with repeated measures design aimed at studying the effects of a self-efficacy promotion program combined with social support on fluid control behaviors and body weight changes among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Eleven patients were purposively sampled. They received a self-efficacy promotion program with social support for 8 weeks. A personal and illness-related data record form, self-efficacy assessment, social support questionnaire, fluid control behaviors assessment form, and a body weight change record form were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Friedman test, and the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test.

The results revealed that after participating in the program, the patients’ fluid control behaviors significantly increased, and body weight changes significantly decreased, compared to those before receiving the program (p < 0.01)

The research suggests that a self-efficacy promotion program should be implemented to prevent fluid overload. In addition, further studies on the maintenance of behavior should be follow up on fluid control behaviors and body weight changes in six months and one year.
